M42 WIP

[john2y]

I've been gathering data for this bad boy for such a long time, I started with 4 hours of Ha and continued with RGB, the problem is that for the last 6 weeks I haven't had a clear night, so I've decided to process what I got so far. I still need to add data on the colours where I have only 60min on each channel and also take really short shots of the core because even with HDR tools in Pixi and lots of fiddling in photoshop I can't see anything but overall I think it looks half decent. 

Taken with Explore Scientific 120/714 APO Triplet with 0,8 reducer resulting in 571mm focal length and f5,6 on ASI1600MM Pro. 

Cheers 

Jan

P.S. I'm aware of the bad flat on the blue filter and some fragments from I don't know what, I'll take care of it when it's finished ?

Thank you guys, hopefully the weather will get better so I can finish it before it rolls behind a building.
